What I love about Andy's workshops is he keeps hammering home the same message knowing the student will only ever absorb what he's ready to understand. He's a wonderful teacher and a fantastic painter.

Great demo. Watching the toned snow turn white and picture emerging with darker values.

[@hotmonkeyfilms]

This video introduced me to Andy Evansen. Wow! What a great instructor and artist. He is my #1 inspiration. A combo of Alvaro Castagnet, Trevor Chamberlain, Ron Ranson. Exactly how I aspire to paint. Thanks for filming this demo.

[@suemills8834]

This was fabulous to see. Andy explains it all so well and is so generous in all of the advice he gives. There was so much to absorb from this. I will be watching over and over.

[@garypuckettmuse]

Wow! Great teacher! Beautiful work!

[@elsagrace3893]

Thank you AWS members for bringing me Andy Evansen. Thanks for teaching me things that I can practice and practice and practice and practice

[@paul-oram]

'Anybody can see the little stuff - we've got to see the big stuff' - brilliant that sums up what I need to focus on!!

[@deannerader6527]

Usually value studies are done in pencil it seems. I love doing the value studies by painting much better! Thank you for such a great tip! You are a great teacher!

[@paulzarganis]

Wow I feel my brain wide open by the explosions of connecting knowledge!! Awesome tutorial

[@michaelparry1383]

Great work. Thank you so much for your time and this great demonstration to emphasize the principals of watercolor creation.

[@brendalazellestephenson2319]

This is what I need - - the value study first - the order of what goes where and when. Perfect and exciting. I will definitely watch this several times. I want more of Andy Evansen, thanks.

[@skerrie1]

I really enjoyed watching this watercolor workshop! I learned so much, and got to see how he arrives at the end result. The process was interesting and really had my full attention during the whole thing. Thank you for sharing this, I enjoyed it very much!

[@lg8365]

[@ugljesajanjic]

Nice work Andy! Thanks for sharing. Love the value study in itself.

[@TheBambie86]

That was fantastic . It is not very often you get to meet or see someone like him who can verbally explain so clearly and perform a Watercolor painting so well done . I would really like to go to any of his workshops Bob Bambrick

[@menkassio]

Thanks for sharing Tim! I love his watercolors!

[@gbproductions9611]

[@janawatercolor]

Wonderful demo. Loved the tonal study and the subsequent steps

[@KLH5252]

Lovely work. So informative.

[@suecarrel]

You are a great teacher! Mid-value is the hardest for me...I will keep your lesson in mind and take the time to do that value study first instead of diving into the painting! Thank you!

[@suemca2095]

brilliant thanks for sharing

[@acwatercolors]

Thanks for posting this 😀

[@affanowais5338]

Very well explained !

[@bwhitman5693]

This was so helpful to see, thank you so much!

[@johncarbis6688]

Fantastic!

[@magalyanne]

Thanks Andy. Merci beaucoup. Never found any video showing your art before I bought the APV "plein air" demonstration. You probably do not care about being known world wide, which is quite wise, in times like these. Your approach of watercolor, as well as the final result is amazing.

[@sharonmcmann-morelli4896]

would love to take one of your workshops, i think i would be so enlightened! RI, we have a great watercolor society...

[@ralphchristianson]

Wonderful demonstration, and of course the big highlight was the cows, not too many demonstrations on You tube that include cows.The building of layers was quite fine.

[@maple5703]

I really enjoyed watching this video. I had a little chuckle when I thought he was wiping his brush on his sandwich....turned out it was a sponge!

[@callmedeno]

Yes it was in the lunchbox alright! I assume he has water at the bottom so it stays damp and draws in water from the top, is that how a sponge works for water color?

[@patriciasenich2627]

Hugely easy to relate to and understand. Love your approach which is almost identical to the well-known watercolor artist, Robert Norieka

[@rosemaryclark610]

great teacher!

[@sidewalkmantra]

fantastic!

[@subhabratadas8419]

So much knowledge in a short time

[@danthomas6587]

Had the opportunity to take Andy's workshop and afterwards I couldn't paint for a week. I was mentally exhausted. But it was totally worth it.

[@anthonytaylor9232]

Dan, I know what you mean. After I had gotten past the rudiments and started to paint more earnestly, I discovered the works of Edward Wesson, and English man who died in 1983. He was a prolific watercolour painter, very loose and open work. I had only ever seen his work in books, but one day I was fortunate to see his work in an exhibition in the Alexander Gallery in Bristol (UK). It was mind blowing, so much so that I literally could not pick up a brush for some six weeks. I never ever thought that I would be in a position to own one of his works, Happy to say that now, in later life I have several of his works hanging on my walls. My only regret is that I wasn't a water colour painter when he was alive, I sure as hell would have signed up for one of his courses. Peace.

[@karthikeyanr3721]

Very nice painting work

[@YYWildlifeArt]

thanks for sharing this video .... i enjoyed it

[@arlenemurphy804]

I have enjoyed every minute,and have learned so much. Now I just have to try. Are you ever in Philadelphia? Thank you so much Andy.

[@eyefulpower]

"If it (the wash) looks right when I put it on, it's wrong." So true.

[@tmp0922]

The way these vids have been shot is really well done, thanks for posting!

Great demo and fab teaching skills - thanks Tim!

[@valeriejohnson2367]

Excellent

[@teodygaspar]

The great Edgar Whitney teaching...principle of design

[@punnu5997]

Someday i will loosen up just like him

[@normanmerrill1241]

Thanks…

[@ashokedutta1335]

Which paper you used please let me know and which branded colours ? Very impressive approach 👏 👍

[@lyneqc7805]

May I ask all your brushes name please thank you

[@jaimehamm8999]

Could we possibly KEEP the camera on the painting?

[@CoxJoxSox]

Hey do u get a badge if you're a member of the AWS?

[@vima8680]

The farm is up to the left of the scene! WHAT!?

[@anthonytaylor9232]

But what about his painting technique ?

[@trinahaines5838]

Wow, this is a very helpful video, thanks! I am inspired by watching. It could be even better with improved video editing, as the video cut away from the view of the painting too often.

[@arijeetdasgupta9818]

Do you have a facebook group of the same name , if yes then I'm a member

[@anitasanderszangeres]

a ma zing ! going crazy about the camerapositions… please let me see what he is talking about iso looking at him talking .. let me look at the work

[@judyhackett4846]

Great teaching and demo of the why and the how. Half way thru, the videographer started changing angles constantly and zooming out too far. It became hard to see the details as they were being painted.

[@anitasanderszangeres]

keep the camera at the paper!!!

[@susangraham5819]

Why does the camera man keep flashing from artist to the painting I was getting quite seasick - too much back and forth otherwise if the camera was focused just on the demo brilliant!

[@UncleTerry]

Because they wanted to give you the sense of being in the room, as he was giving the demonstration. I liked the camera work myself.

[@jillharper7456]

I’m near sited. Take my glasses off only see shapes and values. Same as squinting I guess

[@mist4926]

do less viewing of him and more of artwork he's talking about the picture, it would be nice to be looking at what he is talking about. love seeing using the paint and mixing thankyou. I know It must be hard to get it all your doing a good job both of you

[@TheCombatartist]

Very well done. Personally, I’m tired of being told to “loosen up” - I enjoy details, dry brush techniques and a detailed drawing done prior to painting. But that’s me.

[@ratherbfishing455]

Please focus on the painting. Thanks
